What is SSL?

Secure Sockets Layer, a security measure which establishes an encrypted link between the server and the individual client. It protects its visitors by encrypting the data that is transferred between you and your website, so as to not be intercepted and decoded by hackers.

You detect if a site has SSL by whether or not there is a padlock in the browser address bar or “https” the “s” indicates an SSL certificate.

Why Do I Need It?

If you are visiting a new business in person and there is a giant sign next to your front door stating “unsafe” would you want to go inside? My guess is that the majority will say no, well, the same goes for websites. You want your clients to feel safe and have the willingness to return; providing an unsafe online platform can lead to a downfall in sales, visitors, and business.

As for search engines, Google favors secure websites, an unsecured site will be ranked lower on search results compared to your secure competitors.
